D. Replacing wheel bearings
If the bearings allow play in the wheel hub or
if wheel does not turn smoothly, replace the
bearings as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Clean the outside of the wheel hub.
Drive the bearing out by pushing the
spacer aside and tapping around the
perimeter of the bearing inner race with a
soft metal drift pin and hammer. The
spacer "floats"between the bearings. Both
bearings can be removed in this manner.
To install the wheel bearing, reverse the
above sequence. Be sure to grease the
bearing before installation. Use a socket
that matches the outside race of the bearing
as a tool to drive in the bearing.
